2.2. Horizontal integration of intellectualization-driven automation system

Through intellectualization and its supporting technologies, the control, drive, and lowvoltage distribution systems are deeply integrated to form a unified platform for automation integration, which can provide support for scalable motion and machine control in a single programming environment. This integration reduces data storage scale, while the openness of the control platform ensures easy integration with third-party components. How to deal with the data transmission, information sharing, coordinated operation, and autonomous control between these instruments and systems to meet user requirements has become a very important technology—system integration technology. In addition, the visualization and information software used on each machine needs to be standardized. At this time, the application technology aiming at the overall solutions and the application software represented by optimization software and advanced control algorithm have also become the new development trends.
